Salted rice malt (salt-marinated rice malt) is called shio-koji in Japanese.
This is one of the Japanese seasoning that is made by aging and fermenting a mixture of koji rice, salt, and water.
As you know digestive enzyme produced by koji makes meat and fish tender, and it brings out the flavor and richness (umami and koku in Japanese) of the raw ingredients.

There are innumerable types of enzyme produced by koji, and 3 major digestive enzyme are the following:
・Amylase: Decompose starch into sugar to give sweetness
・Protease: Decompose protein into amino acid to bring out umami, and to tenderize food
